Sun Feng collided with more than 10,000 barbarian cavalry led by the Teutonics head-on. Five hundred steps away, the two sides began to accelerate. Sun Feng took the lead, and the thirteen knights supported him on his left and right, raised their spears and shouted. More than a thousand people had red eyes, roared crazily, beating the war horses hard, and the horses had four hooves soared into the air. , running wildly, like a dragon, taking the lead in rushing into the Sassanian battle. The Germans, Gauls and Goths followed, pounced on the prey fiercely like an eagle's wings.

Awad complained secretly, but he also knew that he could not retreat at this time. Only by rushing forward a bloody road could there be hope of escape. He raised his knife and shouted, ordering to speed up.

With a "boom", the two sides collided with each other, and there was no time to shoot arrows, so a fierce battle began. Sun Feng held a halberd on his left, with a knife in his right hand, stabbed in the distance, and cut the knife in the near. As soon as he made contact, he beheaded two Sassanid cavalry under the horse. The thirteen knights followed closely and killed the Sas in front of them one by one.

In a moment, they went deep into the Sassanid battle for more than a hundred steps. Sun Feng killed twelve Sassanid knights one after another. The war horse was finally hit by the Sassanids. The two war horses hit together. The huge body made a loud noise and flew out. When he landed, the war horse had spit out blood and fell to the ground and twitched.

Sun Feng got out of the horse in time and threw out his sword in mid-air. The sword made a circle, made a buzzing sound, flew a few steps, and rushed head-on, trying to kill a Sassanic centurion's chest. The centurion screamed and fell off the horse. Sun Feng took a few steps in the air. Nikolay stretched out his hand from the horse and pulled him on the back of the horse. Then he threw him to an empty saddle horse. He raised his spear and rushed to the front.

The Sassanians did not dare to fall in love with the war. They ran away in confusion. When Sun Feng and others turned the horse's head, the Sassanians had already run with only one back. Behind them, thousands of bodies fell to the ground, and the wailing sounded. The corpses on the originally clean beach were everywhere. The blood stained the land red, and the quietly flowing Tigris River turned red.

"Your Highness, shall we chase?" Nikolay wiped the blood on his face and shouted excitedly. Since the war with the Sassanids, it has never been so easy.

"No, our task has been completed. The rest will be done by General Xiahou and General Cao." Sun Feng smiled, pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance, and then circled with his hand: "The old rule is to count the number of casualties and clean the battlefield. Hurry up, don't clean it up too clean, and leave some for others."

Nikolay and others understood it, and they didn't have to say anything more, and immediately acted side by side. The Teutonic people are pioneers, and they should give priority to the choice of war. More than a thousand Don soldiers rushed into the battlefield, collected most of the horses, prisoners and armor, and then let other barbarian cavalry choose.

It didn't take long, and the results of the battle were counted. In this short charge, they killed nearly 3,000 Sassanians, damaged more than 100 people and injured more than 300 people. In addition to other tribes and losses, a total of less than 1,000 casualties.

After a long time, Cao Zhang rushed over from the battlefield with more than 10,000 horses.

The Sassanians were unlucky. First, they were stopped by Sun Feng for a while. As soon as they rushed over, they didn't even have time to reorganize their formation, and then they met the Bedouin people led by Xia Hourong. One wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the other wanted to take the road and escape. The two sides fought together and killed flesh and blood. After finally rushing out of the blockage of the Bedouin people, before he could catch up, Cao Zhang caught up with more than 10,000 riders. Looking at the overwhelming smoke and dust, looking at the Han cavalry who rushed out of the smoke and dust like the devil, the Sassanians were so scared that they did not even have the courage to fight and fled. Awad couldn't stop the defeat. Finally, he had to integrate into the tide of the defeat under the escort of the guard camp.

Cao Zhang ordered to chase 20 miles, and then stopped. In the end, more than 3,000 people of the 20,000 Sassanians were left to escape, and almost the whole army was destroyed. The shore of the Tigris River, which is more than 30 miles long, is full of blood and corpses, which is terrible.

When Cao Zhang packed up his booty and returned to the ancient city of Seleu, Xia Herong and Sun Feng had come back. They all smiled. Only Cao Zhi drooped his eyebrows and looked happy - everyone had made contributions, but only he had not made any contributions, which was really frustrating. He had just asked Sun Shao to take the soldiers to participate in the siege, but Sun Shao refused. Sun Shao said that the noble frost people and the Romans are in high spirits. Seeing that they are about to take down the ancient city of Seleu, what do you want?

Cao Zhi was so angry that he had to lose his temper with Cao Zhang and asked Cao Zhang to arrange some cavalry for him anyway. Cao Zhang knew that he was unhappy and comforted him a few words, but the cavalry didn't give any.

Sun Shao ordered that dozens of Sassanian centurors, thousands of men's skulls and battle flags were sent to the front of the battle and handed over to Quintus. Quintus was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to pick it up with a wooden pole and send it to the siege car and show it to the Sassanians at the head of the city. Although the Sassanids could not see the head clearly, they still recognized the battle flag. They recognized that it was a reinforcement who was ready to support them, but they were defeated and defeated, and even the battle flag was taken away.

The morale of the city plummeted. No matter how much Ibrahim boosted morale, they couldn't stand it. As soon as they saw this situation, the four commanders who were attacking the city gave the order of a full-scale attack without the order of Quintus. The sound of drums rising to the sky inspired the soldiers to move forward bravely and set off waves of offensives. When the waves in the south heard the fierce sound of drums, they knew that the city was about to be broken, and they were not willing to show weakness. The waves personally led the most elite guard to rush up and launched a final attack on the ancient city of Seleu.

Ibrahim struggled to death, but the army was defeated like a mountain. The destruction of the reinforcements brought a devastating blow to morale. The Sassanid soldiers could no longer stop the enemy's attack and retreated step by step. The on-the-back guard gave them a fatal blow. After a short period of support, the garrison at the head of the city began to waver and finally developed into collapse.

Almost at the same time, the Romans also killed the head of the city and opened the gate. Quintus threw in two reserve armies in time and poured into the ancient city of Seleu like a tide.

The wave tone was powerful, with the power of the prai guard, and finally surrounded Ibrahim, who withdrew from the north gate. After a cruel fight, the wave tone cut off Ibrahim's head with his own hands.

After a day of bloody battle, the ancient city of Seleu was broken. The Romans who rushed to the top of the city cheered loudly. They cooperated to kill the remnant enemy at the top of the city and met at the top of the city. They hugged together to celebrate the victory. Whether the other party was a Roman, a noble frost, or a barbarian mercenary, everyone was ecstatically stimulated by the hard-won victory. After more than ten days of training, their siege skills have made great progress, but no one expected to win the ancient city of Seleu in one day. This is simply a miracle. Whether it is the Romans or the nobles, whether it is Quintus or the wave tone, they are overjoyed and feel more confident in the next attack of Tesifeng.

I don't know who was the first to shout slogans at the head of the city, and then tens of thousands of soldiers roared excitedly.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor--"

"Long live the King of Frost--"

"Long live the King of Yue--"

Slowly, all the different voices converged into "Long live the King of Yue--", and the blood-stained ancient city of Seleu trembled with shouting, crossed the wide Tigris River and spread to the city of Taixi.

Ardahir was stunned. He knew that Awad had failed, and the ancient city of Seleu was also lost. After only half a month, the ancient city of Seleu was lost, which would also be a fatal blow to the morale of Taisifeng. Compared with this, the result of Awad's 20,000 cavalry is less important. After all, not many people know about it.

The defenders of Taixifeng did not know the specific situation. They only knew that the ancient city of Seleu had been broken through by the enemy. The enemy would soon cross the river to attack Taixifeng with the power of victory. They felt a chill, and the atmosphere of the whole city became very depressing. It seemed that the end of the world was coming.

On the contrary, there was a joy in the ancient city of Seleu. Sun Shao, Lu Xun, Li Yan and others entered the city like heroes in the cheers of the Romans and Guishuang people. Whether they were standing at the top of the city or the Romans and Guishuang people on both sides of the street, they saluted them respectfully, even those who followed them into the city. The Huns, Teutans and Bedouin were all affected. As the main force in defeating the Sassanid reinforcements this time, they were also greeted by the Romans and the nobles.

Sun Shao walked into the city owner's mansion with a smile on his face, which was full of blood and fireworks. He smiled and said to Quintus, "You two of them showed great power this time. It only took only one day to take down the ancient city of Seleu, which was enough to scare the old thief Ardashier. Yes. Shall we celebrate for both of you here today?

Quintus was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Although he tried his best to be a little reserved, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw Little Goldian's shadow that was about to drip, but he had to pretend to smile. This time, with the help of Yueren, he cooperated with Bo Ting. All his cronies commanders went to battle and took the ancient city of Seleu in one fell swoop. He not only proved his command ability, but also several cronies commanders made contributions. In the future, the strength against Goldian became stronger, and the balance of the struggle for power had tilted to him. How could he not Are you happy? He raised his hands in favor of Sun Shao's proposal, but he still said to Bo, "King Guishuang killed Ibrahim with his own hands. It's really admirable. I also hope to toy him a few more glasses of wine to show my admiration."

Bo was in a good mood and stroked his beard and laughed. Although he was not as strong as the Romans and opened the gate a step late, he killed Ibrahim, which was enough to offset this gap. As soon as he was in a good mood, he spoke pleasantly. He joked with Quintus and said, "I'm really old. I've been fighting for so many years. His Majesty can win such a big victory on the battlefield for the first time. It's really stronger than Tula. He must be a great Caesar in the future."

Quintus laughed. Everyone was happy, and the matter was settled. After a tense clean-up, a banquet was held in the city owner's house, and all the generals of the Three Kingdoms attended. During the banquet, everyone pushed the cup and exchanged cups. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the little Goldian was the only one who was unhappy.

The wine was half full of wine, and the depressed little Goldian raised his glass and came to Sun Shao through the wine. He smiled and said with a fake smile: "I toast to the king."

Sun Shao looked at him like that and wanted to laugh. He thought that maybe old Gordian was too shrewd and lived a ridiculously long life, so his son didn't have many opportunities to exercise. He was in his fifties, and he was also reckless. Looking at his appearance, he knew that he was not happy. Without saying a word, he raised the glass to signal, took a shallow sip, and then put down the glass.

Little Gordion was a little unsappoured: "Doesn't the king look down on me? Why don't you finish drinking?"

Sun Shao frowned and smiled: "General, today is a celebration for the respected Roman emperor and the brave king of frost. It's not for me. If you want to toast, you should also toast them, right?"

Little Goldian curled his lips and shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I think this is still the king's credit. Without you to help us train the siege technology and transform the siege equipment, we can't take down the ancient city of Seleu so quickly." He paused and said, "If you hadn't repelled the Sassanid reinforcements, the city might have been bleeding now. I admire the king. He thinks about everything very carefully and doesn't give the enemy a chance. If it's an inexperienced person, I'm afraid that like an ostrich, I only see the ancient city of Seleu. As for the back, I can't take care of it.

Quintuston's face sank. When Mennorupis saw it, he got up and shouted, "Goldian, what do you mean by this? You want to preserve your strength and dare not go to battle, but now what kind of sarcastic words are you saying?

Little Gordion turned his face and looked up and down at Menno Lufis. As if he had just found it, he smiled and said with a surprised smile, "Who am I? It turned out to be the first minister who broke the city today, Senator Menno Lufis. Congratulations, you have made great contributions this time, and you will be a hero of Rome in the future. However, am I wrong? Without the help of Yue people, can you take the ancient city of Seleu today? Don't forget that you were more than half injured by the Sassanids before, and thousands of Romans died under the city.

Speaking of the rest, he was already a little fierce and had a good posture to ask for justice for those soldiers who died in the war. Menno Lufis's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, but he refused to put down his airs and quarreled with Little Goldian in public. He sneered and waved his hand: "Yes, we can't take the ancient city of Seleu without the help of these allies. It's no wonder that we are all in battle for the first time. How can we be compared with the long-gued General Goldian, but General Goldian refused to take action and would rather look at the Sassanid arrogant, so we had to do it. Next time we arrive at Taixifeng, let's not make a fool of ourselves. Let's ask General Goldian to show our strength. Let's see how General Goldian, who is famous in the world, fought.

With the strength of wine, Goldian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, as long as the army arrives under the lockdown of Taixi, I will definitely fight in person. I just don't know if His Royal Highness has this plan?"

Sun Shao raised his eyebrows and seemed to look at Quintus hesitantly. Quintus was stunned and glanced at Barbinus with his eyes. Barbinus hurried forward and dragged little Goldian out. Half-pull and half-pulled. Sun Shao glanced at the embarrassed people, laughed, raised his glass and said, "Gentlemen, General Goldian was happy for a moment. He drank too much. Don't mind. Come on, let's drink."

Everyone echoed, and several people deliberately laughed loudly and restored the atmosphere to its original state. It's just that Quintus and Bo Diao felt Sun Shao's abnormality and looked a little uneasy. When the banquet was over and most of them retreated, Quintus found a reason to drag it to the end. Sun Shao didn't say much. He ordered people to prepare tea and asked him to sit down and speak.

The tea came up, and the fragrance of tea cheered up the drunken Quintus. He took a sip of tea, and his eyes penetrated through the floating tea. Looking at Sun Shao's calm face, he was silent for a moment and said, "Old friend, don't you want to hit Tai Xifeng?"

Sun Shao sighed and asked, "Do you think you can still fight?"

Quintus frowned slightly, gently put down the cup, sip a piece of tea, and nodded slowly: "Yes, although we have taken the ancient city of Seleu, there are many casualties. I don't know how Guishuang people are, but I have lost at least 10,000 people, and the wounded soldiers are close to 30,000 in total. Taisifeng is stronger than Seleucus, and there are more defenders. It is much more difficult, and our casualties will be greater.

"Quentus, you have made rapid progress." Sun Shao praised and didn't say any more, but the meaning was obvious. Although the ancient city of Seleu was taken, the damage was too big, and it was not appropriate to attack Taixifeng immediately. If they want to wait for a period of time, they may not be able to afford it. At present, the best way is to do it until the end.

"Do you want to negotiate with Aldahir?" This is Quintus's old job, and he immediately guessed Sun Shao's idea.

Sun Shao nodded: "It only took half a month for us to win the ancient city of Seleu. Ardahir must be very nervous. He still can't figure out our details. At this time, if we are willing to negotiate with him, we may get a good profit." Sun Shao said lightly, "Isn't war just for profit? Now we are coming to the city and force him to sign the alliance under the city. We can not only take revenge, but also get satisfactory benefits. Why do we have to take the risk to fight again? In case we are trapped under the strong city and can't take the Taixi seal, won't we give up all our previous achievements and get nothing? If it is hunted down by the Sassanian cavalry again, it will not be worth it. Quintus, think about it carefully, is that the truth?

Quentus's eyebrows are getting tighter and tighter. Sun Shao's statement makes sense. If you only consider it from the perspective of interests, it is indeed the most reasonable to negotiate with Aldahir now, and the possibility of obtaining the ideal income is not small. However, in this way, it always makes people a little unwilling. They have been under the lockdown of Taixi, but they do not attack the city. Isn't there some What does it mean to get rid of evil?
